Project Management Leadership Self-Reflection
Introduction
Project Management is a discipline that provides the managers and project leaders with the
set of guidelines that can be applied to effectively carry out the project tasks and activities.
There are varied skills that are needed to implement the concepts of project management in
an effective manner. Leadership is one such skill and traits that must be present in the Project
Leader and Manager in order to be successful in the implementation of project management.
The report is a self-reflection report that covers my personal journey as a project leader and
brings out my strengths, areas to develop, and the action plan.
Concept of Leadership under Project Management
Leadership under project management is defined as the enhanced ability, skill, and emotional
intelligence of a resource to apply the concepts of project management in the project and
integrate all the knowledge management areas effectively. There are various concepts that are
a part of project management. A project leader is allotted with a varied set of roles and
responsibilities to carry out these tasks effectively.
I believe that leadership under project management is to adequately apply the guidelines
defined under project management to achieve the project aims and objectives. For example,
the primary project areas under project management include schedule management, cost
management, scope management, communication management, resource management,
stakeholder management, quality management, risk management, change management, and
integration management. The leadership under project management ensures that all of these
areas are in-sync with each other and the respective issues and problems under each of these
areas are resolved for ensuring project success (Dawson, 2014).
Each of these areas has an impact on each other and the underlying issues in any of the
project areas can impact the overall project success and activities. For instance, if there is a
delay in any of the project tasks or activities, then it will have an adverse implication on the
project costs as well (Bannazadeh, Zomorodian and Maghareh, 2013). It will also impact the
resource productivity levels in a negative manner. Similarly, if there is lack of cooperation
from the stakeholders and there are increased number of conflicts among the stakeholders and
the resources, then it will adversely implicate the overall project performance.
